Collider is reporting that Joaquin Phoenix is in final talks to play Doctor Strange.

This is the 5th name I have heard to be in the running to play Doctor Strange about a week but it sounds legitimate. This obviously means I was wrong about Joss Whedon's Aaron Paul tweet from yesterday.

Joaquin could easily pull off the look of the Doctor Stephen Strange as seen in the comics. He also has some serious acting chops and should have no problems in that department. I loved Joaquin's version of Johny Cash hopefully I will love him as the Sorceror Supreme.

My only worry is Joaquin can be kind of flake. I am hoping he has his head screwed on tight and is ready to do a multiple movie deal.
